Get your APE up-to-date

After developing an APE application for quite some time now, it was time for me to install an APE server on the future production environment.

Since it created some hassle for me, not doing THIS every day, here’s a small log that might help you (or me some time later) to do the same, Upadate your APE server to the latest git version

I’m doing this on a debian 32 bit.

Since I am lazy, I will first install the deb package so I get all the nice entries in /etc/init.d, have the lib files placed in the correct directories…
And in a second step replace the ape version with the current one from github.

To be honest, I am not sure which libraries are required exactly – but this did the job for me. And if I could have installed the specific required libraries only I don’t care… as long as I get what I need.

After a finished compile (it can take a couple of seconds/minutes, warnings flying by…) you are ready to replace the existing ones.

4: Replace old files

Basically have to replace two files:

aped and libmod_spidermonkey.so

If running, stop your ape

/etc/init.d/ape-server stop

Copy the new files from your compile dir to their designated locations:

Hi. Thanks for this guide. I am using Centos5. Do you know where the paths would be in Centos 5? I ran “locate libmod_spidermonkey.so” and it only found one file in my original “/usr/lib/ape/libmod_spidermonkey.so” directory. So I can’t a file to replace the existing “/usr/lib/ape/libmod_spidermonkey.so” file anywhere. Thank you for your time.

Thank you a bunch for your kind help, the ape project website its being spammed , and it looks that none of the dev team care about this fact..
The community its stating to get desperate and beginning to the end of this great software..
I have seen a post on twitter with you and paraboul please let him know that the website documentation its dying, new user will now be able to learn and wont use this great software..
